Silly enough to put my laptop on waffles. I really wanted to eat those waffles. They were so waffly.

3. What do you like in a guy/girl?
I would like a girl to have all the internal organs specified in the Standard Human Production Manual, Section 256A, Table 256a.1 Expected Contents of Humans. But if she’s lacking a few veins and arteries, I’m cool. Not too particular about that.

4. How do you feel today?
Extremely, laptop-on-wafflely.

5. What is your life’s purpose?
I don’t know if purpose is an actual colour. I’ve heard of purple, but purpose? No. I guess I like orange. So my life’s orange will be this shade: #ffa500

6. What’s your motto?
A Suzuki 700cc one-stroke. Love the engine block. Too bad I couldn’t afford the other accecories like wheels, seats, lights… etc.

My parents think of me as a liability, as I tend to be flammable, on fire most of the time, tend to be flooded, insufficient security precautions like not being allowed to install thumb print identification to access my mouth (my parents thought I was still sucking my thumb).

I think very often is a cool phrase to adjectivefy something that is frequent.

I was born. Then, erm. I ate, slept, breath. Repeat as needed. Apply life liberally. This product has been tested on both animals, plants and humans.

I want to be grownup! Would be dissapointing to have spent all that effort growing only to find yourself young and naive again.

Today I felt…

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Today I felt like a prisoner set free. I knew I shouldn’t do it. But I did. The Holy Spirit reminded me that I could still stop and turn back. But I still sinned.

I asked God for forgiveness. I wanted to condemn myself, wanted to punish myself, wanted to correct myself. But I knew I shouldn’t, because I’ve sinned against God. He is the one who has the right to do as He sees fit. What is my righteous thoughts before Him? Are they nothing but filthy rags?

So there I was asking God to forgive me. Knowing well that I needed to do more than ask. I had to accept forgiveness. But how could I? It’s not the first time I’ve failed. I deserve to be condemned.

Then God reminded me of John 8:3-11. The story about the Pharisees and scribes bringing a woman who was caught commiting adultery. The Phrarisees and scribes (like my self-righteous thoughts) condemn her to death. But Jesus made it clear who had the right to judge by saying, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” Clearly, only Jesus has the rights to administer judgement, not my self-righteous thoughts.

So that’s when I realised that my sin is greater than what I perceive it to be. Because I have sinned against God. He who is able to build a world full of life and tear it down to ashes with just a command. Now I know how that woman felt as she stood there. Fearful. Patrified. Knowing I deserve nothing less than the punishment I know will come. As all my own human thoughts of condemnation left, I felt relief, but greater fear, for now I’m alone with the One who is the rightful judge.

Then Jesus says this,

“Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” ~ John 8:11

I stand in awe.

It doesn’t help…

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

… that now I’m feeling every wave of emotion that is expressed in music. In one music history lesson, I can go from happy to sad to horrified depending on the music I have to listen to. It doesn’t help that it’s just the day after valentines day. It doesn’t help that I’m very very worn-out. It doesn’t help that the things I want to say cannot be said because it will lose its meaning, and it will end up disrupting everybody’s life.

“How in the world did I get myself into a situation when I am not allowed to say ‘I love you’?”

The irony of it all, is that obedience to God is love. That as much as my heart wants its way. If I do what I want to, I turn myself into a hypocrite. So by not saying ‘I love you’, I am actually loving more than I can ever.

It’s sort of like telling a friend a secret. Once you’ve said it, the secret isn’t secret anymore. So if you said, “Tell you a secret,” you’d be telling a lie. Strange isn’t it?

I’m no super human, I’m very much lonely, and very much alone most of the time as well. I remember last year on the way to UCSI, my seniors asked about the social divisions in my batch. Apparently my coursemates came out with 4 groups. I am the only one in my group of cliques. So my schedule would be similar to the Grinch’s,

“… let’s see, tonight, dinner with myself, can’t miss that, an hour of pouting … supper with myself… group discussion on lessons learnt today… wonder if any of the group members coming… only I am coming… good so everyone will be here…”

In this part of my journey in life, I’m not in a rush (I don’t think I’ll ever be). But sad to say, I really want to rush. What happens when God takes away what you want and then gives you everything you need only to show you later that He may give you what you want? What happens when He seems to be challenging you to ask for what you want?

Would you have enough faith to forget all the pain and hardship you’ve gone through before, all the doubts, the sense that God’s going to betray your feelings?

What would you do?

p.s. this is a post that is just purely sharing about I feel. It does not include any other considerations. Therefore, do not be alarmed as this is not the whole story. It’s just narrow perspective sharing. I’m human.

Tagged, again.

This calls for guerilla warfare. I am very anti-establishment towards these tagging nonsense. The havoc it caused in the minds of the young and old, and everyone in between. Here’s a low down about the anti-establishment movement I am in. The I-Don’t-Want-To Be-Tagged-And-If-I-Am-I-Will-Make-Utter-Nonsense-Of-The-Tag Movement, a.k.a IDWTBTAIIAI Movement is an anti-establishment movement. It is so anti-establishment that they resented establishing the movement itself. Therefore, the anti-establishment movement has never been established since 25th August 2007 and has a huge following of approximately one person plus minus 0.35 persons and brought to the closes integer.

I was tagged on facebook, so I won’t reply it on facebook. Ha! take that. The instructions says to copy and paste the instructions. Ha! I’ll copy paste and cut!

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

Since there are only 4 categories for 25 facts, I shall add one more category. So five facts to each category. See all this tagging people do not care for even distribution! The category shall be Carpet.

Things
There have been many things about me. Some also beside, behind, on top and below me.

There was once I stood near a rubbish bin. The bin had a fowl mouth

There are trees around me. Occasionally you will see fors and faise.

There are perpendicularly-oriented-planetdwellers around me. Also known as people.

Fat objects like an obese squirrel that cannot climb a tree but like to hide in Darth Vader’s plastic underpants is not a thing. It is a fatg.

Facts
I have seen many facts machines in my surroundings.

Facts machine are capable of communicating via a phone line.

Facts machine like to talk about the innervoice a.k.a. invoice.

Other popular topics are  inchild where they talk about how to get in touch with real facts, and multi-disciplinary skills where facts machines train to be other things like ATMs by factsing money from one machine to another.

Facts machine’s favourite dance troupe is the Evidance. As they say, The facts are supported by Evidance.

Habits
I like habits. They are white furry and so adorable. I was born in the Chinese’s year of the Habit. They are a hybrid mix of a Hare and a Rabbit.

I think habits are very interesting animals. They are both hairy and religious since they got the Rabbi trades from the rabbits.

Apparently Rabbi Jeans are very popular among them.

All Habits can Hip-hop pretty well.

They maintain their diet by means of eating healhy food like carrots, carrots, carrots, and what do you know, haha.. carrots!

Goals
I don’t believe in Goalst.

If I stood in the middle of a football field. There will be two goals about me.

“Goal!”s are what people shout when 22 men on a wide field finally figure out how to put a round thing in a square box.

In the army, goals are an abbreviation for a tactical command to advance. The unabbreviated “Go! Go! Go!” appear largely computer games and TV shows.

Ricky Martin was in the army. That why he sung, “Go! Go! Go! Ah! Late Ah! Late Ah!… drop and give me twenty!”

Carpet
There are many types of Carpets. Some like to keep dogs as carpets, some like to keep parrots as carpets.

People with bad sense of direction (hint to the tagger who tagged me), should have a homing pigeon as a carpet. It is a realiable version of the GPS system

Green peace people like to have cows as Carpets. The cow’s butt is fitted with a fart bag and a pump feeds the methane into the car engine. They call this Turbo Injection Unit.

Comedians are very popular with performance crazed people. The laughing gas that they expel, N2O popularly known as No(i)z gives the car more power.

But Carpets are liable to abuse. Some Carpets Abuse activist say that many people are just stepping on the Carpets and treating them like some sort of door mat. Poor animals.

Tag:
Mr. People Twenty Five
private message: Hey Twenty Five, howya? Doing good? Still look like 25? haha… it’s been like what? 25 years since I last saw you. How are your peoplez? How’s the wife? The kids? 25 must be a handful. haha… hope you doing well. Sorry for tagging you. Hey if you join our IDWTBTAIIAI Movement, we’ll have 26 members. But no pressure. I don’t mind if it’s 20 or 5. I want the quality.
